that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy
the sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., con
tains no mercury, and is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of tne

genuine. It is taken internally

that I did not think to be able to
take any duties the next day, as
my voice was almost choked by
the cough. The same day I re
ceived an order from you for a
bottle of your Cough Remedy.
I at once procured a sample bot
tle and took about three doses of
the medicine. To my great relief
the cough and coldhad completely
disappeared and I was able to
preach three times on Easter Day.
I know that this rapid and ef

Cough Remedy. I make this tes

thankful to have found such a
Godsent rsmeby. Respectfully
